Lake Superior Roller League -- learning and laughing

Back in May, WTIP talked to two women with a novel North Shore idea. Roseanne Cooley and Brandee Wenzel wanted to start a roller derby league in Cook County. Listen to that interview here.

Roseanne and Brandee weren’t sure how it would be received, but were determined to give it a try. Apparently, roller league is something that many people want to try.  The Lake Superior Roller League is up and running -- or should we say rolling?

WTIP’s Rhonda Silence visited the roller league at their latest practice – as they were revealing their fun and funky roller derby names. The Lake Superior Roller League members were decorating vests to wear in the  Fisherman’s Picnic parade.  Click the slideshow to see some of the delightful derby names.
